Hello! My name is Leopold. I have an Macbook Pro Early 2011 that is a bit ill. The symptoms is
- it is running hot
- the fan sounds weird
- as an result of that, the battery time is affected. I have tried making an recording of it with my iPhone 5 and put it on SoundCloud. Here is the link, it is a 10-seconds recording: SoundCloud. I have also tried using air to blow the fan clean. Still, same symptoms as above. Anyone have any thoughts on what to do? Yes, I have searched for it. “MacBook Pro Early 2011 Fan issue” and combination of it. Must be a language barrier because I have found some help but not much.
